Johnson picked the Red Raiders over 30 other offers including Tennessee, Fresno State, Kansas and Kentucky. He signed with West Virginia as a prep. Also headed for Lubbock are defensive lineman Donald Bake of Fresno CC, Cal; linebacker Sylvester Brinkley of Reedley CC, Cal; defensive lineman Charles Glover of Reedley CC, Cal; and defensive lineman Marcus Campbell of Reedley CC, Cal.

Michigan State has a commitment from defensive back/running back Tony Howard of Garfield Heights, Ohio, over Boston College, Maryland, Pittsburgh and South Carolina, among others. The Spartans recently gained athlete Tom Dance of Erie-Cathedral Prep, Pa., over offers from Purdue, Syracuse, Ohio and Buffalo. Iowa also showed interest.
